Whilst going to the shed at the bottom of the garden used to be an escape, garden offices can now be a useful value add to your property. A growing number of individuals choosing to work at home or pursue remote work in retirement. Thus, having a garden office can help minimise disruption, maximise efficiency, and give you some much-needed working space on your property.
So, what are some of the elements to consider when making your garden office work for you?
Heat: If you are working against the backdrop of British weather, ensuring that your outdoor garden room is able to retain and disperse heat is an absolute must. Wall insulation can help ensure that even the smallest of spaces keep you warm – making your office an all-year proposition.
Security: If you are working with computers, expensive equipment, or storing inventory – it’s essential that your outdoor garden space is secure. Adding aluminium doors can help provide durable safety when it’s needed most. All the walls in our range are built with structural grade timber. Doors are also made from high UPVC which is low-maintenance and deploys double glazed toughened glass, and a 5-point locking system – keeping anything inside safe and sound.
Functionality: If you’re using a space for work, it needs to be fit for purpose. Along with maximised square footage, each space comes complete with electrics as standard, with four double sockets, lights, and heater, and dedicated fuse box. This lets you run computers, machinery, appliances, and any electrical equipment you need – eliminating the need to run to-and-from your house. This can also extend to include a range of options such as dedicated internet and phone lines, a shower, and heater.
Appearance: A truism of any build on your property is that, if you’re not working in it…you’re going to be looking at it. This means that any garden office should work to match or complement the aesthetic of your property. As standard, our garden buildings are clad with heat-treated thermowood that makes it more resilient to damage, safe in the demanding British climate, and blend in beautifully with the natural surroundings of any garden. The interior is also finished in plasterboard and plaster with neat skirting, and any doors are fitted with resilient oak with chrome fixtures for a stunning finish.
Effort: For many, choosing to install the garden office n your property by yourself can be prohibitively expensive. Our teams are quick and efficient, with each build completed in optimum time; ensuring minimal disruption to your schedule. Each build comes with a 10-year guarantee, ensuring that any project will be structurally sound when it comes to your foundations, base, walls, and roof.
